Body treatments have gained vast popularity since it was discovered that they are not solely for beautification purposes. Some of their numerous therapeutic benefits include cleansing, detoxifying, and nourishing the skin.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin accumulates dead skin cells that need to be removed.

Body wraps begin with exfoliation by utilizing skin brushing, salt scrub or a dry exfoliating glove. Exfoliating before a wrap helps rid the skin of dead cells and opens pores to prepare the skin to receive the nourishing properties. This will increase the effectiveness of the body wrap.

The body mask is delicately applied all over the body using smooth strokes. The body is gently cocooned with warm linens, heat retaining foils and a thermal blanket. The warm linens assist the skin to open pores and allow the toxins to be excreted and deeply absorb the nutrients.

While relaxing, Exodus Colon Health & Wellness clients will receive a 15 point acupressure facial, facial massage and a light oil-free mini-scalp massage. The treatment is completed with a liberal application of one of the following: moisturizer, lotion, oil or cream to leave your skin feeling hydrated, soft and supple.

Exodus Colon Health & Wellness offers a selection of holistic and therapeutic modalities that complement and promote the detoxification process; leaving you relaxed, rejuvenated and re-energized.

I posted this exotic vegetarian soup on my official Facebook page on July 2nd. This warm and comforting dish was fitting for the below seasonal temperatures. So, due to popular demand ...Voila!
